DELAY Function
Delay is simply a reproduction of the input signal, originating at a prescribed time (usually expressed in milliseconds, or
mS) following the input signal.
Delay Types
The Intellifex XL HUSH; Delay; Ducker configuration offers 3 delay types: Stereo, Ping-
Pong and 2-Tap.
The Stereo delay type provides two separate delays. This delay type is used for applica-
tions requiring two discrete delay lines with individual regeneration loops.
The Ping-Pong delay type regenerates each delay’s output into the opposite delay’s
input instead of its own. This causes the delayed signals to bounce back and forth from the
left channel to the right (provided the delay outputs are panned left and right).
The 2-Tap delay type provides a single long delay line with two outputs and offers twice
the delay time of the Stereo delay type.
DELAY PARAMETERS
Parameter Description
DELAY This parameter determines whether the Delay section is active (passing
a signal) or muted (not passing a signal).
MUTE TYPE This parameter allows for muting of the Delay section at its input (Pre),
its output (Post) or both.
Muting the input (Pre) of the Delay restricts any signal from entering the
delay section until the delay is switched in. When using a moderate
amount of regeneration, switching out the delay with the input muted will
generate a non-delayed signal which will play over the decaying regen-
erated signal which continues on after the delay is switched out.
Muting the output (Post) of the delay results in the delayed signal being
immediately turned off when the delay is switched out. This means that
delays and regeneration will not continue once the delay is switched out.
If the output were
not muted, signals input before switching the delay out
would be allowed to regenerate - even after switching out the delay.
It is also possible to mute both the input and output (Both) so that no
signal enters or exits the Delay section when it is not switched in.
LEVEL 1/2 These are individual level controls for each of the two delays available in
the Delay section. These are not the same as the Delay Level param-
eter found in the Mixer function (which adjusts the overall level of both
delay signals).
